Your Face in My Dream
Your eyes in my dream
were twin planets
holding me in perpetual orbit,
a never ending figure eight
in your line of vision.
Your nose in my dream
snorted me like cocaine,
An irresistible vacuum absorbing me
beyond the event horizon
forever into your brain.
Your mouth in my dream
was like an undertow,
and the rip current beyond your lips
sucked me inextricably down
to be crushed against your ribs. -- Jeff Barnes
